BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a magnet-type generator mounted on an engine of a two-wheel vehicle (motorcycle), a buggy, a jet ski bike, or the like in order to charge a battery or for other purposes.

2. Description of Related Art

In the conventional magnet-type generator, as shown in FIG. 15, the following structure is adopted to connect outgoing wires of a coil with lead wires for outputting power to outside the generator. A through-hole 102 is formed on an annular base portion 101 located at a center of a stator 100, a tubular insulator 105 formed together with a bobbin 104 is inserted into the through-hole 102 to cover an inner surface of the through-hole 102, lead wires 107A, 107B, 107C are inserted into the through-hole 102 covered with the tubular insulator 105 from the side of a mounting surface 100 a of the stator 100 (mounting surface side on an engine cover, a side shown in FIG. 15A), and the lead wires 107A, 107B, 107C are connected with outgoing wires 108A, 108B, 108C of a coil 108 at the side of a clamping surface 100 b of the stator 100 (opposite surface of the mounting surface side, a side shown in FIG. 15B). Note that the above explained conventional structure is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2010-273482.

In the above explained structure of connecting wires, the through-hole 102 is formed on the annular base portion 101 located at a center of the stator 100 and therefore an escapement structure such as a notch should be prepared on the engine cover to avoid the lead wires 107A, 107B, 107C inserted into the through-hole 102 from being crushed between the stator 100 and the inner surface of the engine cover when the stator 100 is mounted on the inner surface of the engine cover. Consequently, manufacturing cost of the engine cover is increased.

For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when the stator 100 is mounted on an engine cover 110 by fitting an inner periphery portion 101 a of the annular base portion 101 into an annular fitting portion 111 which is projected from the engine cover 110 toward the stator 100, a notch 112 should be prepared on a part of the annular fitting portion 111 to avoid the lead wires 107A, 107B, 107C from being crushed.

In addition, a surface of the annular fitting portion 111 of the stator 100 has a function to radiate heat of the coil 108 produced when generating electricity. However, if the through-hole 102 is prepared on the annular base portion 101 of the stator 100, a surface area of the annular base portion 101, which is effective for radiating heat, is reduced in an amount of the through-hole 102. Therefore, the temperature of the coil may not be properly suppressed.

The present invention has an aim to provide a magnet-type generator capable of reducing the manufacturing cost of the engine cover and efficiently preventing the coil from increasing the temperature.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One aspect of the present invention provides a magnet-type generator comprised of a stator that has a stator core and a coil, and is fixed on a predetermined mount portion; and a rotor that is arranged outside the stator and has a circumferentially arranged magnet so as to generate an alternating flux, wherein the stator core has an annular base portion of approximately annular shape and salient pole portions extended in a radial direction from the annular base portion; the coil is wound around winding frame portions formed on the salient pole portions; a lead wire for outputting is inserted into a through hole passing through the stator core along a rotation axis of the rotor and connected with an outgoing wire of the coil at one side of the stator core; the stator core has an extension portion, which is partly enlarged outwards in a radial direction from an outer periphery of the annular base portion and fills a part of a gap between at least two neighboring salient pole portions; and the through hole is provided on an area including the extension portion of the stator core.

In the present aspect, the lead wire for outputting is inserted into the through hole provided on an area including the extension portion of the stator core, and therefore the lead wire is arranged at a position separated outward from a center of the stator core compared to the conventional product. Therefore, even when an inner periphery of the annular base portion of the stator core is fit into the annular fitting portion (i.e. an example of “predetermined mount portion” in the claims) that is projected from the engine cover to the side of the stator core, a notch for releasing the lead wire does not have to be prepared. As a result, manufacturing cost of the engine cover can be reduced, and mounting strength of the stator can be improved because the stator is supported by the annular fitting portion not having the notch. Furthermore, a surface area of the annular base portion, which is effective for radiating heat, is increased. As a result, heat of the coil and the stator core produced when generating electricity can be efficiently radiated and temperature rise of the coil and the stator core can be suppressed.

In another aspect, a specific salient pole portion, around which a smaller number of turns of the coil can be wound compared to other salient pole portions because of an existence of the extension portion, is formed; and a width of the winding frame portion of the specific salient pole portion is narrower than a width of the winding frame portion of the other salient pole portions.

In the present aspect, an amount of the coil that can be wound around the winding frame portion of the specific salient pole portion increases because the width of the winding frame portion of the specific salient pole portion becomes narrower. Therefore, an amount of the coil wound around the specific salient pole portion can be compensated in an amount reduced by an existence of the extension portion.

In another aspect, a specific salient pole portion, around which a smaller number of turns of the coil can be wound compared to other salient pole portions because of an existence of the extension portion, is formed; and the coil is additionally wound around the winding frame portion of the other salient pole portions in an amount reduced by the existence of the extension portion.

In the present aspect, an amount of the coil is compensated by additionally winding the coil around the other salient pole portion of the same phase as the specific salient pole portion in an amount reduced by an existence of the extension portion. As a result, power generation performance can be maintained compared to a generator not having the extension portion.

In another aspect, an overhang portion is provided at the gap between the specific salient pole portion and the other salient pole portions in a direction of enlarging an outer peripheral surface of the annular base portion by an approximately same amount as the extension portion.

If the extension portion is provided at only one side of the salient pole portion, the coil is unevenly wound at a side of the annular base portion of the winding frame portions and winding collapse of the coil may occur. In the present aspect, however, the gaps not provided with the extension portion are projected in a direction of enlarging the outer peripheral surface of the annular base portion by an approximately same amount as the extension portion, and therefore the coil is evenly wound at the side of the annular base portion of the winding frame portions and winding collapse of the coil can be prevented.

In another aspect, the stator has a bobbin, which is made of an insulating material and almost entirely covers a surface of the specific salient pole portion; and the extension portion is provided on the bobbin.

In the present aspect, the coil is surely prevented from being wound unevenly at the side of the annular base portion of the salient pole portion by the extension portion provided on the bobbin, and the winding collapse of the coil can be prevented.

By using the magnet-type generator of the present invention, manufacturing cost of the engine cover can be reduced and the coil is efficiently prevented from increasing the temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1. Embodiment

Hereafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a three-phase magnet-type generator concerning an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a three-phase magnet-type generator 1 has a rotor 10 that is fixed to a crank shaft 90 of an engine and a stator 20 that is fixed to an engine cover 91 so as to be located at an inner peripheral side of the rotor 10. The engine cover 91 is fixed to an engine body 93 by clamping a screw 70. The number of poles of the rotor 10 is twenty, for example. The number of poles of the stator 20 is fifteen, for example.

The rotor 10 has a rotary member 11 made of a magnetic material. A tapered portion 11 b formed at a boss portion 11 a of the rotary member 11 is fit into an end of the crank shaft 90 and fixed by a bolt 71. A yoke is formed by a tubular-shaped outer peripheral portion 11 e of the rotary member 11.

Inside the outer peripheral portion 11 e of the rotary member, a ring-shaped spacer 12 made of a non-magnetic material and a magnet 13 having twenty poles circumferentially arranged at regular intervals are provided along an axis direction of the crank shaft 90. A magnet protection ring 15 is provided inside the magnet 13. The magnet 13 is fixed to an inner periphery of the outer peripheral portion 11 e. Note that the magnet protection ring 15 is formed by pressing a stainless plate.

Next, the stator 20 will be explained based on FIGS. 2 to 5. FIG. 2 shows a stator core 21 of the stator 20. FIG. 3A shows a mounting surface side bobbin 40 mounted on the stator core 21 from a mounting surface side (side of the engine cover 91). FIG. 3B shows a clamping surface side bobbin 41 mounted on the stator core 21 from a clamping surface side (side of the engine body 93). FIG. 4 shows the mounting surface side of the stator 20 in a state that the bobbins 40, 41 are fit to the stator core 21 and a coil 60 is wound around the bobbins 40 and 41. FIG. 5 shows a clamping surface side of the stator 20 in a state that the bobbins 40, 41 are fit to the stator core 21 and the coil 60 is wound around the bobbins 40, 41.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stator 20 has the stator core 21, two bobbins 40, 41 which are resin molded and fit to the stator core 21 so as to sandwich the stator core 21 from both sides, and the coil 60 which is wound around the bobbins 40, 41 mounted on the stator core 21.

The stator core 21 is formed by laminating stator core sheets 22 and fastening the laminated stator core sheets 22 and two stator core end plates 23, which are arranged to sandwich the stator core sheets 22 from both sides, with rivets 24 to integrate them together. The stator core sheets 22 are formed by press punching a rolled steel plate. The stator core end plates 23 are formed by pressing a steel plate, which is a little thicker than the stator core sheets 22.

The stator core 21 has an inner bore portion 25 which is fit to an annular fitting portion 91 a provided on the engine cover 91, an annular base portion 26 which is extended outward from the inner bore portion 25, and fifteen salient pole portions 27 which are extended in a radial direction from the annular base portion 26 so as to be arranged at regular intervals. Each of the salient pole portions 27 has a winding frame portion 28 and a magnetic pole portion 29 which is extended from a tip of the winding frame portion 28. A plurality of the magnetic pole portions 29 is facing the magnet 13 of the rotor 10.

On the annular base portion 26, four clamping hole portions 30 are formed to insert clamping bolts 92, which are screwed into mounting seats 91 b of the engine cover 91 to fix the stator 20 to the engine cover 91.

In addition, the stator core 21 has an extension portion 33 which is extended outward from the annular base portion 26 so as to fill gaps 32 between the salient pole portions 27. In the present specification, the outward means a direction from the center of the annular base portion 26 to the outer peripheral edge. The extension portion 33 fills a part of two gaps 32 formed by three continuous salient pole portions 27 at a side of the annular base portion 26. In other words, the extension portion 33 is a part of the annular base portion 26 whose outer periphery is partly enlarged outwards and fills a part of the gaps 32 between at least two neighboring silent pole portions 27.

Here, an area enclosed by broken line in FIG. 2, which includes the extension portion 33, is referred to as a salient portion 34. On the salient portion 34, three through holes 35A, 35B, 35C are arranged at almost same position in a circumferential direction so as to insert tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C (shown in FIG. 3B), which are formed on the later mentioned clamping surface side bobbin 41. The through holes 35A, 35B, 35C pass through the stator core 21 from the clamping surface side to the mounting surface side. The holes 35A, 35B, 35C are approximately rectangular shape when seen in cross-section perpendicular to the direction of passing through.

Since the stator 20 has the salient portion 34 as explained above, a radial direction length r (shown in FIG. 2) of the winding frame portion 28 is shorter than that of other salient pole portions 27 at three of fifteen salient pole portions 27 of the stator 20. Hereafter, the salient pole portions 27 that have the winding frame portion 28 of shorter radial direction length are referred to as a specific salient pole portion 27A, while the salient pole portions 27 other than the specific salient pole portions 27A are referred to as a normal salient pole portion 27B. The normal salient pole portion 27B is corresponding to “other salient pole portion” in the claims.

Out of the three continuing specific salient pole portions 27A, on two specific salient pole portions 27A neighboring to the normal salient pole portions 27B, an overhang portion 36 is formed at base portions 28 a (side of the annular base portion 26) to extend outward so as to fill the gaps 32 between the specific salient pole portions 27A and the normal salient pole portions 27B. An outer end 36 a of the overhang portion 36 is located at same position as an outer end 33 a of the extension portion 33 in a circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic pole portion 29 of the salient pole portion 27 is formed by a magnetic pole body portion 22 a of the stator core sheet 22 and a flange portion 23 a of the stator core end plate 23. The flange portion 23 a of the stator core end plate 23 extends approximately perpendicular to the magnetic pole body portion 22 a.

The bobbins 40, 41 are comprised of the mounting surface side bobbin 40 (engine cover side bobbin) shown in FIG. 3A, and the clamping surface side bobbin 41 (engine body side bobbin) shown in FIG. 3B so as to cover surfaces of the salient pole portions 27 by sandwiching the stator core 21 from both sides as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5. Both the bobbins 40, 41 are made of an insulating synthetic resin material. Each of the bobbins 40, 41 has fifteen winding frame portions 42 to cover the winding frame portions 28 of the stator core 21, flange portions 43 to cover the magnetic pole body portions 22 a and the flange portions 23 a of the stator core 21, and a partition portion 44 to prevent connecting wires of the coil 60 wound around the winding frame portions 42 from protruding inside. The flange portions 43 prevent the coil 60 wound around the winding frame portions 42 from being collapsed outside.

Shapes of the bobbins 40, 41 are formed so as to correspond to a shape of the stator core 21 (shown in FIG. 2). In other words, an extension portion 45, which is an area enclosed by broken line in FIGS. 3A and 3B, is formed on the bobbins 40, 41 corresponding to the shape of the stator core 21 having the salient portion 34. In addition, three of the winding frame portions 42 of the bobbins 40, 41 are shorter in radial direction than other winding frame portions. The shorter winding frame portions are corresponding to the specific salient pole portions 27A and referred to as a winding frame portion 42A. The other winding frame portions are corresponding to the normal salient portions 27B and referred to as a winding frame portion 42B. Furthermore, the partition portion 44 is projected outward at the extension portion 45 compared to other areas. Furthermore, an overhang portion 46 is formed on the extension portion 45 of the bobbins 40, 41 corresponding to a shape of the overhang portion 36 formed on the salient portion 34 of the stator core 21. The overhang portion 46 is formed so that both ends of the overhang portion 46 are matched with both ends of the base portions 28 a (shown in FIG. 2), which is extending outward by the extension portion 33, of the specific salient pole portions 27A in a circumferential direction along the specific salient pole portions 27A. Consequently, the coil 60, which is wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A, is prevented from being collapsed (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5).

As shown in FIG. 3B, on the partition portion 44 of the clamping surface side bobbin 41, three grooves 47A, 47B, 47C for outgoing wires are formed so as to insert outgoing wires 60 a, 60 b, 60 c, 60 a′, 60 b′, 60 c′ (shown in FIGS. 7 and 8) of the coil 60. In addition, inside the partition portion 44 of the clamping surface side bobbin 41 and near the grooves 47A, 47B, 47C for outgoing wires (i.e. an area including the extension portion 45), a plate like substrate portion 48 is integrally formed with the clamping surface side bobbin 41. The substrate portion 48 is corresponding to the plate portion. On the substrate portion 48, three tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C are formed to be inserted respectively into three through holes 35A, 35B, 35C provided on the stator core 21. The tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C are tubular bodies which extend towards a direction of stacking the stator core sheets 22. When two bobbins 40 and 41 are combined, the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C are inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C from the clamping surface side of the stator core 21 to the mounting surface side to cover the inner surfaces of the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C (shown in FIG. 1). In the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C which are inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C, as explained later, lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C, which output the current generated at the generator 1, are inserted (shown in FIGS. 4 and 5). In addition, on the substrate portion 48, three terminal press-fit hole portions 51A, 51B, 51C are formed to press-fit a terminal 53 (shown in FIG. 5) which connects the lead wires 64A, 64B, 63C pulled out of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C with the outgoing wires 60 a, 60 b, 60 c, 60 a′, 60 b′, 60 c′ inserted into the grooves 47A, 47B, 47C for outgoing wires. Each of the terminal press-fit hole portions 51A, 51B, 51C is projected to the reverse side of the clamping surface side bobbin 41. When the clamping surface side bobbin 41 is mounted on the stator core 21, the projected portions are fit into three oval hole portions 21 a (shown in FIG. 2) provided on the stator core 21.

The terminal 53, which is press-fitted into the terminal press-fit hole portions 51A, 51B, 51C, is made of a conductive metal. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the terminal 53 has a narrow U-shape groove portion 53 a that latches two outgoing wires (e.g. 60 a and 60 c′) together, a wide U-shape groove portion 53 b that latches a lead wire (e.g. 64A), and a press-fit portion 53 c that connects the U-shape groove portions 53 a, 53 b. The wide U-shape groove portion 53 b is corresponding to a lead wire connection end portion. When the press-fit portion 53 c of the terminal 53 is fit into the terminal press-fit hole portion (51A in FIG. 6), the narrow U-shape groove portion 53 a and the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b are projected from the substrate portion 48 of the clamping surface side bobbin 41. The outgoing wires 60 a, 60 c′ latched on the narrow U-shape groove portion 53 a and the lead wire 64A latched on the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b are soldered to the terminal 53. As a result, the outgoing wires 60 a and 60 c′ are connected with the lead wire 64A.

Here, a wire connection structure will be explained more specifically. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, coil groups 60A, 60B, 60C are formed by winding copper wires 61A, 61B, 61C around the winding frame portions 28 of the bobbins 40 and 41. Note that the coil 60 wound around the bobbins 40 and 41 is adhered to the bobbins 40 and 41 by impregnating an epoxy resin.

As shown in FIG. 7, each of the coil groups 60A, 60B, 60C is formed by concentrically winding the copper wires 61A, 61B, 61C from start points a, b and c to end points a′, b′ and c′ respectively in the same direction at every three salient pole portions. As shown in FIG. 8, the coil groups 60A, 60B, 60C are delta-connected to obtain a three-phase output having electrical angle phase difference of 120 degrees.

In other words, in the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, both the outgoing wire 60 a of the coil group 60A and the outgoing wire 60 c′ of the coil group 60C are inserted into the groove 47A for outgoing wire and soldered to the wide U-shape groove portion 53 a (shown in FIG. 6) of the terminal 53 so as to be connected with the lead wire 64A soldered to the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b (shown in FIG. 6) of the terminal 53. In addition, both the outgoing wire 60 b of the coil group 60B and the outgoing wire 60 a′ of the coil group 60A are inserted into the groove 47B for outgoing wire and soldered to the narrow U-shape groove portion 53 a of the terminal 53 so as to be connected with the lead wire 64B soldered to the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b of the terminal 53. In addition, both the outgoing wire 60 c of the coil group 60C and the outgoing wire 60 b′ of the coil group 60B are inserted into the groove 47C for outgoing wire and soldered to the narrow U-shape groove portion 53 a of the terminal 53 so as to be connected with the lead wire 64C soldered to the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b of the terminal 53. Note that the coil groups 60A, 60B, 60C are corresponding respectively to a U-phase, a V-phase and a W-phase of the three-phase magnet-type generator 1. In addition, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are corresponding respectively to a U-phase, a V-phase and a W-phase of the three-phase magnet-type generator 1.

In the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the number of coil turns that can be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A is less compared to the normal salient pole portions 27B. To compensate a shortage of number of turns of the coil 60 to be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A, the coil 60 is additionally wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B. For example, in case the number of turns of the coil 60 wound around the U-phase of the specific salient pole portions 27A is reduced for twenty turns, the coil should be additionally wound for twenty turns around any of the rest four normal salient pole portions 27B of the U-phase. As for the V-phase and the W-phase, the coil 60 should be wound similarly. Note that the coil 60 does not have to be wound for twenty turns only around one of four normal salient pole portions 27B of the U-phase. For example, five turns can be additionally wound around all of the four normal salient pole portions 27B, or ten turns can be additionally wound around two of the four normal salient pole portions 27B. In any cases, total number of coil turns of the coil 60 that forms the U-phase is configured to be same as that of the V-phase and that of the W-phase so as to equalize the output of each phase. In addition, the number of turns of the coil 60 wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A of the U-phase is configured to be same as that of the V-phase and that of the W-phase. When the generator is a single phase, the coil 60 that cannot be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A can be wound around any part of the normal salient pole portions 27B without considering the above explained condition.

Next, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C will be explained. Each of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C is composed of a conducting wire 64 a covered by a covering portion 64 b made of a synthetic resin. (See the lead wire 64A of the variation example in FIG. 14B.) The lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are respectively inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C of the stator core 21 covered by the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C of the clamping surface side bobbin 41, from an opening side (side of the engine cover 91) of the rotor 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and pulled out to a side of an end portion 11 c (side of the engine body 93) of the rotor 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the tubular portion (50A in FIG. 9) located at the clamping surface side bobbin 41, a chamfered portion 50 c is formed on an outer edge portion 50 b (also referred to as an outlet portion 50 b) of an outlet 50 a at a side of the terminal press-fit hole portion 51A. In the tubular portions 50B, 50C, same as the tubular portion 50A. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C pulled out of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C are bent towards the terminal press-fit hole portions 51A, 51B, 51C, the covering portion 64 b of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are in contact with the chamfered portion 50 c (shown in FIGS. 9 and 10). As a result, the covering portion 64 b is not damaged by the outer edge portion 50 b of the outlet 50 a and the conducting wire 64 a is prevented from being erroneously exposed.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, on the clamping surface side bobbin 41, a wall portion 55 is prepared projected from a periphery of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C and along with an insertion direction of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C. On the wall portion 55, a groove 56 for lead wire is formed by cutting off a side of the terminal press-fit hole portions 51A, 51B, 51C of the wall portion 55. A width dimension d1 (shown in FIG. 9) of the groove 56 for lead wire is equal to a diameter R1 (shown in FIG. 14B) of the conducting wire 64 a of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C or more, and smaller than a diameter R2 (shown in FIG. 14B) of the covering portion 64 b of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C. Therefore, when the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted into the grooves 56 for lead wire, the covering portion 64 b of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are squeezed. In other words, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are clamped at a notched surface 55 a (shown in FIG. 9) of the wall portion 55. As a result, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are prevented from rattling or shaking.

In the embodiment, in particular, the notched surface 55 a (groove 56 for lead wire) of the wall portion 55 which clamps the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C is placed near the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b of the terminal 53 to which the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are soldered. In other words, the place where the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are clamped is near the place where the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are soldered. Therefore, even when a vehicle such as a motor cycle that mounts the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment is vibrated while driving, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are not rattled at all.

In addition, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted from the clamping surface side to the mounting surface side into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C provided on the salient portion 34, which is projected outside from the annular base portion 26 of the stator 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, an annular radiating surface 21 b (shown as a shaded area in FIG. 4) is formed on the mounting surface side of the annular base portion 26 of the stator 20, which is a side of the engine cover 91 (clamping surface side). As a result, heat of the coil 60 can be radiated efficiently by the radiating surface.

Although not shown in figures, the three lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are pulled out of a wire insertion hole provided on the engine cover 91 and connected with electrical circuit components such as a regulator.

As explained above, the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment is comprised of the stator 20 that has the stator core 21 and the coil 60, and is fixed on the annular fitting portion 91 a (corresponding to a predetermined mount portion) of the engine cover 91; and the rotor 10 that is arranged outside the stator 20 and has a circumferentially arranged magnet 13 so as to generate an alternating flux, wherein the stator core 21 has the annular base portion 26 of approximately annular shape and the salient pole portions 27 extended in a radial direction from the annular base portion 26; the coil 60 is wound around the winding frame portions 28 formed on the salient pole portions 27; the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C for outputting are inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C passing through the stator core 21 along a rotation axis of the rotor 10 and connected with the outgoing wires 60 a, 60 c′, 60 b, 60 a′, 60 c, 60 b′ at one side of the stator core 21; the stator core 21 has the extension portion 33, which is partly enlarged outwards from an outer periphery of the annular base portion 26 and fills a part of the gaps 32 between at least two neighboring salient pole portions 27; and the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C are provided on an area (salient portion 34) including the extension portion 33 of the stator core 21.

In other words, the area (salient portion 34) including the extension portion 33 of the stator core 21 is formed by partly enlarging outwards a diameter of the annular base portion 26 in the radial direction, the stator core 21 has the extension portion 33 to fill a part of the gaps 32 between at least two neighboring salient pole portions 27, and the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C are formed inside the enlarged area of the annular base portion 26.

Although the enlarged area is described as a continuous area in the embodiment, the enlarged area can be separated into plural areas. Although the diameter is almost constant in the enlarged area and constant in the unexpanded area in the embodiment, the diameter does not have to be constant. The diameter can be gradually enlarged from the minimum diameter and can be gradually reduced from the maximum diameter. Furthermore, the diameter can be enlarged in two stages, such as a little enlarged diameter and more enlarged diameter.

By using the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C provided on the area (salient portion 34) including the extension portion 33 of the stator core 21, and therefore the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C for outputting are located away from the center of the stator core 21 than the conventional product. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, even when the inner periphery of the annular base portion 26 of the stator core 21 is fit into the annular fitting portion 91 a that is projected from the engine cover 91 to the side of the stator core 21, the notch 112 (shown as 112 in FIG. 16 in the conventional example) for releasing the lead wires does not have to be prepared. As a result, manufacturing cost of the engine cover 91 can be reduced, and mounting strength of the stator 20 can be improved because the stator 20 is supported by the annular fitting portion 91 a not having the notch. Furthermore, a surface area of the annular base portion 26, which is effective for radiating heat, is increased (shown as a shaded area 21 b in FIG. 4). As a result, heat of the coil 60 and the stator core 21 produced when generating electricity can be efficiently radiated and temperature rise of the coil and stator core can be suppressed.

In addition, in the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, because the extension portion 33 is provided, the specific salient pole portions 27A whose winding frame portion 28 is smaller compared to the normal salient portions 27B is formed. Therefore, a part of the coil 60, which cannot be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A because of an existence of the extension portion 33, is wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B of the same phase as the specific salient pole portions 27A (shown in FIG. 7). In other words, if the extension portion 33 is provided, the specific salient pole portions 27A, which are portions around which smaller number of turns of the coil can be wound compared to the normal salient pole portions 28A (other salient pole portions), are formed, and the coil 60 is additionally wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B of the same phase as the specific salient pole portions 27A in an amount reduced by the existence of the extension portion 33.

Therefore, an amount of the coil 60 is compensated by additionally winding the coil 60 around the normal salient pole portions 27B of the same phase as the specific salient pole portions 27A in an amount reduced by the existence of the extension portion 33. Consequently, power generation performance can be maintained compared to a generator not having the extension portion 33.

In addition, in the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the overhang portion 36 is provided. The overhang portion 36 is located at the gaps 32 between the specific salient pole portions 27A and the normal salient pole portions (other salient pole portions) 27B, and projected in a direction of enlarging an outer peripheral surface of the annular base portion 26 by an approximately same amount as the extension portion 33 (shown in FIG. 2).

If the extension portion 33 is provided on only one side of the salient pole portions 27, the coil 60 is unevenly wound at a side of the annular base portion 26 of the winding frame portions 28 and winding collapse of the coil 60 may occur (shown in a later mentioned variation example of FIG. 11B). However, in the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the gaps 32 not provided with the extension portion 33 are projected in a direction of enlarging the outer peripheral surface of the annular base portion 26 by an approximately same amount as the extension portion 33, and therefore the coil 60 is evenly wound at the side of the annular base portion 26 of the winding frame portions 28 and winding collapse of the coil 60 can be prevented. In the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the overhang portion 46 is provided on the clamping surface side bobbin 41 in accordance with the shape of the overhang portion 36 of the stator 20, and winding collapse of the coil 60 is prevented by the overhang portion 46 (shown in FIG. 4).

In addition, the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of another embodiment has the stator 20 comprised of the stator core 21, the bobbins 40, 41 and the rotor 10, wherein the stator core 21 has the annular base portion 26 of approximately annular shape and the salient pole portions 27 extended in a radial direction from the annular base portion 26; the bobbins 40, 41 are made of an insulating material and fixed to stator core 21 to almost entirely cover a surface of the salient pole portions 27; the coil 60 is wound around the bobbins 40, 41, the rotor 10 is arranged outside the stator 20 and has the circumferentially arranged magnet 13 to generate an alternating flux; the stator core 21 has the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C passing through the stator core 21 along a rotation axis of the rotor 10 to insert respective lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C for outputting; the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C, which are corresponding to respective phases, are individually inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C and connected with the outgoing wires 60 a, 60 c′, 60 b, 60 a′, 60 c, 60 b′ at one side (clamping surface side) of the stator core 21 via the terminal (metal connector) 53 that is fixed on the substrate portion (plate portion) 48, and the terminal 53 is located near the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C.

Therefore, by using the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted into respective through holes 35A, 35B, 35C prepared separately for each phase, and are connected with the outgoing wires 60 a, 60 c′, 60 b, 60 a′, 60 c, 60 b′ of the coil 60 via the terminal 53 located near the respective through holes 35A, 35B, 35C. As a result, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C that are inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C can be soldered with the terminal 53 without requiring long wiring (shown in FIG. 5). Therefore, operating efficiency of wire connection can be improved.

In addition, vibration resistance of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be improved as compared to a case when the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are pulled out long and complicated because the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are soldered to the terminal 53 that is located near the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C.

Furthermore, even when a large size generator is used and relatively large amount of current flows through the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C, heat is not concentrated on one spot because the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted into respective through holes 35A, 35B, 35C prepared separately for each phase. As a result, the covering portion 64 b of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be prevented from deteriorating.

Although some generators employ a structure of using a connecting terminal that passes through a through hole provided on the stator to connect the outgoing wires of the coil on one side of the connecting terminal and connect the lead wires to another side of the connecting terminal, the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment employs a structure of connecting the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C with the outgoing wires 60 a, 60 c′, 60 b, 60 a′, 60 c, 60 b′ at one side (tightening surface) of the stator core 21. Therefore, even when the size of the stator 20 is changed, the shape of the terminal 53 can be used without change. As a result, manufacturing cost can be reduced and working process can be simplified because soldering is required for only one side.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the wide U-shape groove portion 53 b (lead wire connection end portion) of the terminal 53 (metal connector) is located on a line starting from the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C towards a center of the annular base portion 26 of the stator core 21 (shown in FIG. 5).

Therefore, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C inserted into the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C can be soldered to the terminal 53 without bending the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C. As a result, wire connection can be easily performed.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, inner surfaces of the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C are covered with the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C that are provided on the substrate portion (plate portion) 48 and made of an insulating material.

Therefore, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C cannot be directly contacted with the stator core 21 on which the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C are provided, and the covering portion 64 b (shown in FIG. 14B) of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C is not damaged by burrs of the stator core 21. As a result, a short-circuit accident between the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C and the stator core 21 can be avoided.

In addition, in the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C of the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the chamfered portion 50 c is provided on at least the terminal 53 (metal connector) side of the outlet 50 b from which the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C pulled as shown in FIG. 9.

Therefore, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C inserted into the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C can be easily bent and connected towards the terminal 53 by pulling out the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C from the outlet 50 a along the chamfered portion 50 c. Furthermore, because the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are bent along the chamfered portion 50 c towards the terminal 53, covers of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C cannot be damaged.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are formed by the conducting wire 64 a made of an insulating material and covered by the covering portion 64 b (shown in FIG. 14B), and a bore diameter R3 (shown in FIG. 3B) of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C is larger than a diameter R1 (shown in FIG. 14B) of the conducting wire 64 a and smaller than a diameter R2 (shown in FIG. 14B) of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C including the covering portion 64 b.

Therefore, when the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are inserted into the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C, the covering portion 64 b of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are pressed against an inner surface of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C, and the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be certainly fixed in the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C. As a result, vibration resistance of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be improved. Furthermore, the covering portion 64 b can be prevented from being deteriorated, disconnected or short-circuited, which are caused by vibration of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C are approximately rectangular shape (shown in FIG. 3B).

Therefore, the covering portion 64 b, which is pressed against an inner surface of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C, can be released toward the corner of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C whose holes are rectangular shape. As a result, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be easily inserted compared to a hole that the pressed covering portion 64 b cannot be released. Note that a shape of the hole is not limited to rectangular as long as the shape is a polygonal shape.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, the wall portion 55, which is projected from a periphery of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C along with an insertion direction of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C, is provided on the substrate portion (plate portion) 48, and the grooves 56 for lead wire, which have a smaller diameter than the diameter R2 (shown in FIG. 14B) of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C, are formed on the wall portion 55 (shown in FIG. 9).

Therefore, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be held by the wall portion 55 by fitting the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C pulled out of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C into the grooves 56 for lead wire and then soldering the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C to the terminal 53. As a result, the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are prevented from rattling and vibration resistance of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be improved. The shorter a distance between the position of the terminal to which the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are soldered and the grooves 56 for lead wire on which the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C are fixed, the more efficiently the vibration of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be suppressed.

In addition, in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment, only one phase of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C is inserted into one of the through holes 35A, 35B, 35C. Therefore, even when thick lead wires are used to form a relatively large generator used in large motorcycles, the respective lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be certainly and individually fixed compared to a case when lead wires of plural phases are pulled out of one through hole.

2. Variation Examples

Hereafter, variation examples are explained. In the explanation of the variation examples below, components in common with those in the embodiment of the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 are denoted by the same symbols.

The overhang portion 36 of the stator core 21 is formed to extend from the specific salient pole portions 27A and the annular base portion 26 in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment (shown in FIG. 2). However, the overhang portion 36 can be formed to extend only from the specific salient pole portions 27A as shown in FIG. 11A as an overhang portion 81 of a stator core 80.

In addition, overhang portions 36 and 46 are provided both on the stator core 21 and on the bobbins 40 and 41 in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment (shown in FIGS. 2 and 3). However, the stator core 82 can be formed without having the overhang portion 36 and only the bobbins 40 and 41 can have the overhang portion 46 as shown in FIG. 11B.

In addition, the number of turns of the coil 60 wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B is more than that of the specific salient pole portions 27A of the same phase in the embodiment (shown in FIG. 7). However, the number of turns of the coil 60 can be same between a specific salient pole portions 27A′ and the normal salient pole portions 27B as shown in FIG. 12. It can be realized by specifying a width dimension d2, which is along a circumferential direction, of winding frame portions 28′ of the specific salient pole portions 27A′, to be narrower than a width dimension d3, which is along a circumferential direction of winding frame portions 28 of the normal salient pole portions 27B so that same number of coil turns of the coil 60 as the normal salient pole portions 27B can be wound around the winding frame portions 28′ of the specific salient pole portions 27A′, which is specified to be narrower. In other words, when the specific salient pole portions 27A′ around which smaller number of turns of the coil can be wound is provided on the three-phase magnet-type generator 1, the width dimension of the winding frame portions 28′ of the specific salient pole portions 27A′ can be specified to be narrower than that of the winding frame portions 28 of the normal salient pole portions 27B. By using such a structure, an amount of the coil 60 that can be wound around the winding frame portions 28′ increases because the width dimension of the winding frame portions 28′ of the specific salient pole portions 27A′ becomes narrower. Therefore, an amount of the coil 60 wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A, which is reduced by the existence of the extension portion 33, is compensated. As a result, power generation performance can be maintained compared to a generator not having the extension portion 33.

In addition, only the grooves 56 for lead wire are formed on the wall portion 55 projected from a periphery of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C (shown in FIG. 9) in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment. However, in addition to the lead wire 56 formed on the wall portion 55 projected from a periphery of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, an uplift prevention portion 84 can be formed projected from the upper part of the notched surface 55 a of the wall portion 55 to the direction of the grooves 56 for lead wire to prevent the read wire 64A from being lifted up from the substrate portion 48 as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B. By using such a structure, the uplift prevention portion 84 prevents the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C pulled out of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A, 50B, 50C from being lifted up from the substrate portion 48 of the stator 20. As a result, vibration resistance of the lead wires 64A, 64B, 64C can be improved.

A shape of the uplift prevention portion 84 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B. For example, as shown as an uplift prevention portion 85 in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the uplift prevention portion 85 can be projected from a wall portion 86 to cover an opening that is along the insertion direction of the lead wire 64A. Note that, in the variation example shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, a width dimension of grooves 87 for lead wire formed by the wall portion 86 is specified to be larger than the diameter R2 of the lead wire 64A so that the lead wire 64A is easily pulled out of the outlet 50 a of the tubular portions 50A.

In addition, the entire coil 60 that cannot be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A is wound around the normal salient pole portions 28B in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment. However, a part of the coil 60 that cannot be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A can be wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B. In addition, by combining the specific salient pole portions 27A′ having a narrow width dimension shown in FIG. 12, a part the coil 60 that cannot be wound around the specific salient pole portions 27A can be wound around the normal salient pole portions 27B and another part of the coil 60 can be wound around the narrower salient pole portions 27A′ to entirely compensate the reduced number of turns of the coil 60. By using such a structure, a desired power generation can be performed without excessively narrowing the width dimension of the winding frame portions 28 of the specific salient portion 27A and without excessively thickening the normal salient portion 27B by the coils 60 additionally wound.

In addition, the bobbins 40 and 41 made of an insulating synthetic resin material are provided in the three-phase magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment. However, without providing the bobbins 40 and 41, a powder resin coating layer, which is made of an epoxy resin, can be provided on the surface of the salient portion 27 of the stator core 21. By using such a structure, radiation performance can be improved compared to the case of using the bobbins 40 and 41.

In addition, although the magnet-type generator 1 of the embodiment is explained as three-phase, it can be applied to the generator other than three-phase, such as a five-phase generator.

Note that “annular base portion of approximately annular shape” in the claims includes the annular base portion 26 which has an angular part on its outer peripheral edge. For example, the annular base portion 26 having dodecagonal outer peripheral edge is included.
